Great to spend an hour online today with @amandacomms.bsky.social

Validated my practice in several ways, especially:
• Use the risk register
• You can’t “comms” your way out of a situation that your actions have created. Change is needed
• Values and authenticity at the heart of crisis response

Thanks. Disappointed to see that the candidates who met the summertime deadlines and criteria are in the same ballot as the latecomers / second-call.

@cipr.co.uk Hello - please can you share a link to candidate statements for the Council election. Can’t easily find anything about them.

Just a quick update following the CIPR announcement today that regional PRide Awards are to end. We've got good news that in Wales, the #CIPRCymruAwards are not going anywhere, and the Wales committee will be launching the 2025 Awards in the Spring. Watch 👀 this space.

An anvil around our neck, but I did like Russell Square, including the cafe in the park.

Mark Woods, CIPR Cymru chair-elect and John Wilkinson, CIPR Cymru chair meet to plan a smooth handover and a busy 2025 for the group’s members.

Quick coffee with CIPR Cymru’s incoming chair, @markstevenwoods.bsky.social to ensure a smooth and peaceful transition of power on January 1, 2025.

I want members to turn out in huge numbers and to support events, conference, and - I am reliably informed - the CIPR Cymru Awards 2025.
